Rearanging an array

[cemeteryridge]

Is there a way to rearrange an array so there are no blank indexes?

$tank[0] = "User1";
$tank[1] = "";
$tank[2] = "";
$tank[3] = "User2";

into this

$tank[0] = "User1";
$tank[1] = "User2";

Is there a function of some sort?

$new_array=array_filter($array)

Ive tried that, but it doesn't seem to work.

$newarr = array_reverse($tank);
foreach ($newarr as $key => $val) {
    if (empty($val)) unset($tank[$key]);
}

Funny, I just tried it, and it did.

 

<?php
$tank[0] = "User1";
$tank[1] = "";
$tank[2] = "";
$tank[3] = "User2";
echo '<pre>'; print_r(array_filter($tank)); echo '</pre>';

?>

That not how I need it to work. I need the empty values of index 1,2 to be erased and the value of 3 be relocated to 1;

like I explained in my first post;

$tank[0] = "User1";
$tank[1] = "";
$tank[2] = "";
$tank[3] = "User2";

to

$tank[0] = "User1";
$tank[1] = "User2";

Hmm.. thought mine would do that. Guess I forgot that part about unset. Anyways..

 

$tank = array_values(array_filter($tank));
var_dump($tank);

Sorry, didn't notice the arrangement of the keys in OP.

<?php
$tank[0] = "User1";
$tank[1] = "";
$tank[2] = "";
$tank[3] = "User2";

$tank = array_filter($tank);
sort($tank);
echo '<pre>'; print_r($tank); echo '</pre>';

?>

Maybe not with those values, but wouldn't sort have more of an effect than the OP would want?

It may, although it will sort alphabetically, besides I like giving people more for their money.

Unless sorting will alter the way he wants the data, then you won't get any money because you didn't perform the task as specified.
